May Business Forum to Feature State Treasurer Ted Wheeler

Please join us for this May’s business forum luncheon featuring Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler on Tuesday, May 8th. This interactive presentation will discuss business development in Oregon and how the newly passed Oregon Investment Act will be a catalyst to help companies grow and hire. Wheeler will illustrate how the Act will help coordinate and consolidate the state’s economic development resources and encourage additional private sector leverage to invest in Oregon opportunities.
